This is intellectual weakness. God cannot possibly exist and science fearing people know this. When we redefine what the word "believe" means, we can believe anything that brings comfort. I'm sorry to all smart people who will soberly listen to science, god is not real. No one can logically argue that supernatural is compatible with science. You cannot believe both without redefining what believe means.

While i agree, be careful making claims of fact. You dont yet have enough evidence to claim that something doesn't exist, just like they don't have enough evidence to claim that something does...

If you use the same weak foundation they do your argument is at the same level as theirs, and that is not right. They need to produce evidence to back their claims, until then the default value to apply is 0 (disbelief) .

edit Also its worth noting that the OP article isn't about facts or accuracy. its all about support structures. The guy had a few moments when he needed some and the ones that A) there and B) easy to slot back into were Christianity.

The guy was never really free of that yoke, he just didn't have a lot of need for it. Until he did and slotted back into the fold seamlessly.
